In fact, I'm Belgian so I know plenty about Vertonghen and the Eredivisie. He's not Barca-material (yet?), end of.

'great technical ability' is an absurd exageration. He's not nearly good enough for FCB.

Wasn't he injured that season? edit: yep, december 2006, Xavi tore the cruciate ligament in his right knee. One of the toughest injuries in football and that's also why he was not nearly as good as usual in 2007-2008.

Very funny but the audio is horribly out of sync. And I hope the Catalans won't see too much of drunk Leo during the season ;)

Well.. He can't play against himself, can he ;)

You're twisting his words. There's a big difference between saying: 'we will win everything this season' and 'our goal is to win everything this season'. You're saying the former, sunny the latter.

No, I haven't. And reading stuff doesn't make me want to look either. But it's good for us. Let them keep underestimating Don Andres while we storm through every competition.

He didn't lose his skill when he came here. He just didn't adapt: he still can't speak a word Spanish or Catalan. I hope we sell him to another team after his loan deal, we don't need someone that lazy to play (or even warm the bench) for us. It sucks, because I was a fan of him at Arsenal and...

Probably, but not as much as the CL. This also means there's no chance of us playing against Galatasaray.

Nope, they played a qualifier for the EL yesterday (won 1-4).

If I was in the L'pool management, I'd demand both+cash..

CL-Qualifiers.. They started a while ago. Yesterday was the 3rd round, there's one playoff round left before the group phase. We're placed directly in the group phase because we won La Liga and we won the CL last year. (either of those would've been enough, 2nd place in La Liga means direct...

Screw Bruno Alves. Let's buy Mascherano and use Touré/Henrique/Muniesa as backups in central defense.

Because Caceres sucks (& he's leaving), Puyol & Marquez are ageing and that leaves... Piqué. We definitely need another CB, even if Henrique is staying.

Can anyone link me to some high (or at least decent) quality pics of Iniesta with the FCB scarf tied around his head, shirt on backwards and a flag draped over his back and legs? If you don't know what I mean: they show him like that at the end of the vid (and a user here has it as an avatar -...

You're forgetting Bojan. I expect he will be getting a lot more playing opportunity in the coming season. If there's going to be a scoring problem, Bojan will fix it.

Usually an hour before. Is he included in the complete selection for the match, though?

I agree with pretty much everything you said (has to be a first). He was absolutely amazing at Villareal but I don't think he can take the pressure he will suffer at Real Madrid. It's up to the directors to give him more than a year's worth of credit.

There's this little tournament called the Africa Cup..

So what's your opinion on Pellegrini anyway Beast? Personally, I think he'll be fired before Easter. edit: you've probably posted it somewhere before but I really can't look through 200+ pages
